Bridge the Gap provides resources to enhance the stability, growth, and success of children in foster

The uniform is ready.

The shoes fit.

The equipment bag is packed.

Tomorrow is the first practice.

For the child who wasn't sure they would be able to participate, these things mean:

"I get to go."

Bridge the Gap provides enrichment activities, including sports and athletics.

⚽ Your money in action can turn a registration fee or equipment into teamwork, routine, friendship, confidence, and a sense of belonging.

Help make “I get to go” possible. 💚

A gift can begin as a number.

Then it becomes an opportunity.

A child participates.

A child discovers.

A child connects.

A child belongs.

Give More 24! is on Thursday, September 24, 2026.

Help us create more possibilities for children in foster care. 💚

The first note may be shaky.

The second might be too.

Then one day, the notes begin to sound like music.

And a child begins to think:

Maybe I can do this.

DO YOU KNOW?

In Washington, only 53% of youth who had been in foster care graduated high school on time in the 2023 four-year cohort, compared with 84% statewide.

Bridge the Gap provides enrichment activities, including music lessons and instrument rentals.

🎵 Your money in action can become creativity, practice, confidence, connection, and the discovery of something a child loves.

Help create the next opportunity. 💚

We are in the final days of our back-to-school campaign.
Thank you to everyone who has donated, shared, or helped spread the word.

Your support represents more than backpacks and school supplies.

It represents:
Preparation.
Dignity.
Participation.
Opportunity.
Confidence.
Belonging.

There is still time to help with clothing, classroom materials, ASB cards, sports fees, equipment, class expenses, extracurricular activities, and other school-related needs.

Please donate today to help make a meaningful difference for a child in foster care. 💚

One donation may help a student enter the classroom prepared.

Another may help them step onto the field.

Another may allow them to attend a school event, join a club, take a field trip, or participate in a music program.

Together, those gifts open doors.

They tell a child:
You are supported.
You are included.
You deserve the same opportunities as your peers.

Be part of the community opening doors for children in foster care. 💚

Soon, students will return to their classrooms.

Teams will begin practicing.

Clubs will begin meeting.

School events will fill the calendar.

But many children and youth in foster care still need help with supplies, clothing, ASB cards, sports fees, equipment, course expenses, and other school-related costs.

There is still time to help.

Please donate today to help make a meaningful difference for a child in foster care. 💚

08/21/2026

A donation may help provide a backpack, clothing, an ASB card, a class fee, or sports equipment.

To a child, that support can say:
“I am prepared.”
“I can participate.”
“I am part of the team.”
“I can go too.”
“I belong here.”
“My community cares about me.”

That is the difference practical support can make.

A new school year already brings plenty of change.

A new teacher.

An unfamiliar classroom.

Different expectations.

New classmates.

A child should not also have to worry about whether they can afford the required supplies, clothing, course fee, ASB card, or equipment needed to join a team.

Your gift can remove one practical barrier and create room for learning, friendship, and confidence.

Help make the year ahead a little easier. 💚

School is where children learn.

It is also where they:

Join teams.

Discover talents.

Build friendships.

Find mentors.

Explore interests.

Celebrate achievements.

Create memories.

Children and youth in foster care deserve access to the full school experience, not only the minimum supplies required to sit in class.

Your contribution can help cover essentials, activity fees, sports expenses, equipment, and other school-related needs.

Help a child participate more fully this year. 💚

An ASB card may look like a small piece of plastic.

But it can provide access to games, dances, activities, events, and other parts of school life where friendships form and memories are made.

For a student who already feels different, being unable to attend can deepen that sense of separation.

Your contribution can help children and youth in foster care participate more fully in their school communities.

Because belonging should not depend on whether a child can afford the entry fee.

Donate today.
